Leonard Cheshire Disability, Cossham Gardens, Lodge Road, Kingswood, BS15 1LE
The above facility is a care home with nursing in Kingswood, Bristol. The nursing home is a permanent home to 21 disabled adults with high support needs. Our problem at this time of year is that Cossham Gardens is rather more like Cossham Weeds and we do not have any volunteers at the moment to look after the garden.
We would like to ask any group in our vicinity if they might be willing to generously donate a few hours a few times a year to tidy up the garden? Pruning and weeding would be the order of the day and donation of time alone is our request.
If your club or society can help in any small way please contact Michele Wareham on 0117 967 3667 or email michele.wareham@leonardcheshire.org for more information. Visit Cossham Gardens on Facebook

SOS TO GLOUCESTERSHIRE GARDEN OWNERS
The National Gardens Scheme has been opening gardens to raise money for nursing and caring charities since 1927.
Now some 3,800 gardens open annually for the Scheme, but we need every one of them and more so we can continue
to make generous donations to charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care and the
Queen’s Nursing Institute. So we’re always looking for new garden owners willing to take the plunge and open
their gardens to the public. We know that you are all keen gardeners as members of the Gloucestershire
Federation of Garden Societies, so would any of you consider opening for the NGS? Whether your garden is
large or small, traditional or modern, filled with cottage garden plants or whispering grasses, we’d love to
hear from you. And don’t be daunted by the prospect. The Gloucestershire NGS county team is formed of
volunteers who will be only too happy to advise and help you through the opening process.
So don’t hide your
horticultural lights under a bushel. If you feel like giving it a go, get in touch with
Vanessa Berridge on 01242 609535 or vanessa.berridge@sky.com. We look forward to hearing from you and to visiting your gardens.
